ForTest, a leader in leak test solutions, has unveiled the Dual Absolute T8090, an innovative instrument that revolutionises testing in electric car equipment, enhancing their performance, reliability, and efficiency.
Electric car components, including batteries, circuits, cooling systems, and packs, are often susceptible to leaks. To mitigate user dissatisfaction and prevent significant losses, it’s crucial that these parts are leak-proof. This is particularly essential for off-road vehicles, which need waterproof battery packs to prevent dust from affecting the components, causing performance and safety issues.
Leak testing of automobile parts has grown in importance for car manufacturers and suppliers, as it is key to improving stability and efficiency. The rise in demand for electric vehicles means that more extensive leakage testing on battery packs and charging stations is necessary. Hence, leak test instruments for electric vehicle components must meet more stringent performance standards.
ForTest has stepped up to these challenges by developing the Dual Absolute T8090, a novel leak testing equipment for automobiles. It combines the tried-and-true absolute-decay method with the accuracy and sensitivity of a differential system.
Electric car components have traditionally been tested using pressure decay, classic differential, and visual testing methods. However, these methods can be slow and prone to inaccuracies, often missing leaks in battery packs and other components, potentially leading to major quality and safety issues.
The Dual Absolute T8090 is poised to transform the production rate in the automobile industry. It has the capability to test two components simultaneously, effectively cutting cycle times in half with its safe zero center mode.
The Dual Absolute T8090 is equipped with highly sensitive sensors for fault detection and measurements, paralleling classical differential systems. This is particularly advantageous for the automotive e-mobility sector as it negates the need for periodic maintenance, a drawback of traditional differential instruments.
Conventional capacitive differential systems are vulnerable to humidity, which can damage batteries and escalate costs. The Dual Absolute T8090, with its Solid-State Measure (SSM), is unaffected by humidity, thus eliminating the necessity for expensive compressed air filtering systems required by conventional methods.
